Toolbox can not be attached



  • I accidentally close the Toolbox and now I can use it only in floating mode. Restart doesn't help.

    For consideration: Do you need close button in Toolbox? In my personal case I only use it by accident and right after have to open & dock
    the toolbox again.

    @encart I tried this on windows: dragging the toolbox from its title area (just after the (x) close icon), close to the left margin of the app window, should display a blue vertical highlight, when that highlight is shown, the toolbox is docked.

    About the close icon: this is added to all toolbox views, and for some it is needed: the popup toolboxes can be detached, and they need to be closable. Same with custom toolboxes.

    Should there be a "special case" for the main toolbox?



  • @encart check if you have enabled Lock in View>Lock panel

    Yes usually the highlight appears but not in the latest build. Launching VS with Ctrl + Shift + Alt combination doesn't help.
    I'm not sure if docking problems are related to maximizing app window. I have this problem known from previous releases. The maximize button works randomly, and maximized window is larger than the scren size.



  • @Jayanta-Das Thank you! Yes, that was the reason.



  • @vectoradmin If the panel is lock can we disable or hide the cross button to close the panel. This happened to me many times when I accidentally close the panel.
